Name and author of this hexagonal box

Post by Brimstone »

Does anyone know the author and original name of this model?

I have the diagrams for it in a local publication but it does not mention either. I was trying to make Fred Rohm's Star of David from a square and the diagrams start with a hexagon obtained after some precreasing from a square, but the instructions do not show the actual precreasing. I checked the box's diagrams since I remembered it was done from a hexagon obtained from a square and the instructions for obtaining the hexagon turned out to be the ones necessary for the star of David. Coincidence?

I have something similar here:

It's made from a square and does not pre-hexify the paper.

I have folded the rose jar many times and it was the model I folded the most like 4 weeks ago.

The hexagonal box I ask is quite impresive looked from any angle. The sides are not flat and the top is impressive. Pitty the black color does not show it well

I found a picture of the finished model at an OUSA 2006 gallery. Since I think there are forum rules about not displaying pictures you don't have the copyright to, I am only providing the link

The picture shows 2 models and the identification card mentions snow flake, but I think it reffers tot he other model. The card says t: Larry Davis c: others

What does t mean? I think c means creator and t means folder but I don't see why

As you can see the sides of the model are not flat. and the top is quite nice. I think I'll have access to a camera latter in the day and post my own pictures

c...Creator

At least that's my guess taking into consideration that the models are from the convention model menue.
So long and keep folding ^_^

Daydreamer is right, t-teacher, c-creator is what OUSA uses on the Model Menu (which shows the model that each class will be doing).

I am fascinated by this model, is it possible to provide the diagrams to do this if there is no copyright issues....

Thanks,

It is published in Papiroflexia Basica by Vincente Palacios. I am sure the copyright laws apply.

Ishibashi crystal variation

Post by Melisande »

Thanks to brimstone for showing me this interesting model.

From hexagons.

Left one is the original model, as diagrammed by Vicente Palacios in his book Papiroflexia basica.
Also diagrammed here under the appellation hexagonal rose box :
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/harl ... osebox.PDF

Right one is a variation I designed, it makes this model not less a crystal but more a box.
It needs a 1/12 grid, which isn't complicated since in the original model you already precrease the hexagon in 3rds.
